The Chairholder's research will integrate molecular strategy and emerging food technologies to address challenges towards the development of sustainable plant protein supplies from Canadian crop resources. Building on the established spectroscopic and nanoscopic techniques, the research will develop new functional building elements from plant proteins, and elucidate how these basic building elements assemble into higher-order structures with new or improved functionalities, and how they break down in the gut. The generated knowledge will be applied to develop high protein foods of desirable sensory and nutritive quality and efficient delivery systems of bioactive molecules to improve human health and well-being.

主席的研究将整合分子战略和新兴的食品技术，以应对来自加拿大作物资源的可持续植物蛋白供应发展的挑战。基于已建立的光谱和纳米技术，该研究将从植物蛋白中开发新的功能构建元素，并阐明这些基本构建元素如何组装成具有新功能或改进功能的高阶结构，以及它们如何在肠道中分解。所产生的知识将用于开发具有理想感官和营养质量的高蛋白食品以及生物活性分子的有效递送系统，以改善人类健康和福祉。
